A bunch of really nice Cozy-Shabbat weekends this summer, some only with summertime students, others with visiting alumni, and traveling guests. Bassie is now staffing a camp in the Catskills, Moshe working Yeshiva-camp admin in Morristown, and Bluma is a day-camp counselor just outside Chicago. The local day camp is about to start up in the second week of July.
We celebrated a beautiful alumni wedding, traveled for some Simchas, Mendel spoke in Chicago, and Raizy had a meaningful and memorable Chabad on Campus Conference in Israel where she also met alumni going back 20+ years! Mendel followed her on the same Chabad on Campus trip in July and wrote up a daily recap, see this page where you can read Mendel’s Israel Kinus recaps…
We’re working on back-end office matters, working the UAlbany Connection Days for incoming students, and preparing for the new year! New for this year is a Coloring-Book Calendar designed by an alumni – stay tuned!
